RUBCN
Chr 3ARrubicon autophagy regulator
Also known as: KIAA0226, RUBICON, SCAR15
The encoded protein negatively regulates autophagy by inhibiting PIK3C3 activity and controls endosome maturation and degradative endocytic trafficking. Mutations cause spinocerebellar ataxia, autosomal recessive 15, which primarily affects cerebellar function and coordination. This follows autosomal recessive inheritance.
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Typical tolerance to LoF variation
Mild missense constraint
Predictions shown for reference only — model trained on dominant genes, not applicable to AR conditions.
The Badonyi & Marsh prediction model was trained exclusively on dominant disease genes. Predictions are not reliable for genes with autosomal recessive inheritance and are shown at reduced opacity for reference only.
